Very robust and warm winter jacket. It keeps you reliably warm even in sub-zero temperatures and is super practical thanks to the many pockets. The material looks high-quality and hard-wearing. I also like the colour and the cut – definite purchase recommendation. The size fits perfectly!

The outer layer is made of Duracanvas material, and the interior is filled with synthetic insulation Climashield Apex, providing good thermal protection and breathability. It features a high collar with a chin guard, mounting loops, and functional pockets for better organisation. Perfect for long trips and daily use.
Insulation Climashield Apex, material Duracanvas
The outer shell is made of Duracanvas fabric with a weight of 230 g/m2, which can be wax-impregnated to improve protection against rain and moisture as well as abrasion resistance. The insulation consists of high-quality synthetic Climashield Apex insulation with a grammage of 67g/m2, providing effective protection against cold, even when wet. It is also characterised by its lightness and good compression properties.
8 spacious pockets
The jacket has 8 practical pockets:
- two chest pockets with organisers
- two padded hip pockets
- one pocket on the left arm
- two open inner pockets
- one zippered inner chest pocket
All external pockets are closed with YKK zippers. Below the chest pockets are paracord handles that allow for attaching small equipment, preventing them from being lost.
Two-way YKK zipper, ventilation openings
The main closure is a two-way zipper from YKK. The stand-up collar has a fabric guard to protect the chin from being pinched by the zipper. Under the arms, there are ventilation openings with mesh-finished zippers, which increase breathability and thermal comfort.
adjustable hood, high collar, adjustable cuffs
High collar increases comfort during rain and wind. The hood is equipped with a 3-point adjustment system that allows precise fitting to the shape of the head and current weather conditions. Two drawstrings at the waist and bottom of the jacket allow for adjusting the circumference, preventing draughts. The cuffs are adjustable with Velcro, and drawstrings in the hood and at the bottom of the jacket provide additional protection against cold.
Velcro panel on the sleeve, Molle loops
On the left sleeve, there is a velcro panel measuring 11 x 8.5 cm, allowing the attachment of various emblems – such as a national flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches – giving the jacket a personalized appearance. At the bottom, there are MOLLE/PALS loops used for attaching carabiners or mounting additional equipment.

Looking for a jacket for a while, I was mainly tempted by positive user reviews confirmed by purchases. I tried on the Earth Brown model in the shop, but I wanted the Ash Grey colour, so I ordered the right size online. Unfortunately, when I received the jacket, there were a lot of loose threads, and I have attached only a few photos as examples. The hanging loop was torn, the zip pullers under the armpits were also starting to come apart, as other buyers have already reported. There are numerous threads visible on black clothes – most likely from the synthetic insulation. As for thermal insulation, nothing special – I don’t understand reviews saying a T-shirt is enough at -10 degrees as I personally still need a fleece and even then it can be just average, especially in the wind. The advantages are the look, pockets, adjustable hood and lightness. In hindsight, I regret this purchase, even at a reduced price the jacket wasn’t worth it.

Excellent jacket. Robust enough for small outdoor tasks (carrying wood, light DIY) and warm enough to be comfortable in negative temperatures and moderate walking (very effective and thermal hood). Lots of pockets and loops. I always wear XL and that's what I chose. I could have taken L but it would have been a bit tight (I have broad shoulders and I like having space to store things inside my jackets: here there are 2 inner mesh pockets for gloves, hat, etc.) I'm thinking of treating it with a Nikwax coating but when new it is already naturally water-repellent. I find the loops for attaching a pouch or Mora knife to the outside brilliant. No regrets, it's exactly what I needed.

After opening the package with the jacket, I had a very good impression. The material is pleasant to the touch, yet solid and durable. The jacket is not too thick, but it does its job well, especially while moving. Thanks to the underarm zips, you can easily regulate the temperature. The jacket has lots of pockets and a well-fitting hood. I hope it will serve me well for a long time.

Convenient warm jacket with spacious pockets. I'm 187cm tall and weigh 90kg, I took size L. For use in the city with sufficient physical activity, it is generally enough for temperatures down to -10..-15°C (wearing a T-shirt and a fleece underneath). If you move less, you'll need something warmer. Overall, an excellent jacket.

I have been using the jacket every day since I bought it. It is well made, and the smooth lining makes it easy to put on and take off. I have tested its resistance to sparks several times – no trace was left. Even at temperatures as low as -9 degrees, it still kept me warm. The pockets are roomy and very conveniently placed, and the hood and its adjustment also meet my expectations. I highly recommend it!

At first glance, the jacket seems quite thin for the suggested minimum temperature range. According to the specification, it has 2/3 of the insulation compared to the Level 7, but the outer material is more durable. During tests while marching in -19°C (feels like -25°C), it generally fulfilled its function. Under the jacket, I wore two layers: a regular T-shirt and a cotton sweatshirt—it was fine, but nothing more. In my opinion, for tougher conditions, an additional fleece would be useful, especially when standing still. Of course, this is an individual matter, and it may be different for others. A big plus is the ability to adjust the sleeves with velcro, the drawcord at the bottom, and the high collar, which all help to limit heat loss. Overall, it gives the impression of a high-quality product, the outer material looks solid and matte. The design is very successful, and the placement of pockets and drawcords is spot on. I bought the jacket on sale, but in my opinion, it could still be a bit cheaper. Size M fits well on a person who is 178 cm tall and weighs 75 kg.

The Winter jacket is an excellent choice for me – surprisingly light yet very warm. It worked perfectly both in frosts down to -10 degrees and during stronger winds. Before buying, I hesitated between the Winter and Level 7 models, but I chose the Winter due to the larger number of pockets :) The only downside is that the jacket is now on sale and I could have had it about 90 PLN cheaper :)) Overall, though, I sincerely recommend it.

I am 183 cm tall and weigh 95 kg. I chose the Helikon Yukon black jacket in size L – it fits perfectly. The jacket has a soft, slippery lining, which makes it easy to put on and take off. The outer material feels very solid. There are plenty of practical pockets and drawstrings, thanks to which the jacket fits the figure perfectly. The hood is excellent. I haven't had the chance to wear it yet, as I ordered it yesterday at 10pm and it's already with me today – I'm very impressed with such fast shipping from MILITARIA.pl. The price is high, but it matches the quality of the jacket. Best regards to the entire MILITARIA team!

Advantages: - very comfortable and flexible, you can move freely in it - retains heat well (tested during severe frosts), but requires additional layers underneath. On its own over a T-shirt it is not enough. - practical pockets Disadvantages: - the drawstrings on the zippers fall off after the first use - price – for this amount you can find better products - the pockets are convenient but quite small

I have been using the jacket every day since I bought it. It is well made and designed, for example the smooth lining makes it much easier to put on and take off. The material copes well with sparks – I have tested it several times and there is no trace left. Even at -9 degrees it was still warm. The pockets are very spacious and perfectly located, at least for my needs. The hood and ability to adjust are also faultless. I definitely recommend it!

Tall, slim, long arms. 183cm/74kg. Size L - fits perfectly. Good quality. Light. That's what I wanted. Congratulations on the purchase - to myself... Service - quick, trouble-free. Minus - the price. Quality costs. As the classic says - it's already been cheap. I'm satisfied.

The product stands out for its high quality and practicality. The materials used are solid, and using the product is comfortable, even in various weather conditions. There is a plus for the well-designed style, which allows for free movement. However, the downside remains the price.

The jacket is fantastic. I didn't expect such a lightweight jacket to be so warm. I tested it in -11 degrees, wearing only a short-sleeved t-shirt underneath. Amazing. If you add a thin sweatshirt, you can easily go out even at -20. The only downside is the straps at the ventilation zips – you need to be careful that they don't come undone or get lost.

The jacket protects very well against the cold, especially if you wear thermal underwear underneath. The pockets and gear attachments are very practical. The insulated hood means you don't even need to wear a hat, even in freezing temperatures. For a winter model, the jacket packs easily into a backpack, as it compresses well. Size M fits perfectly for a height of 184 cm and a weight of 74 kg – there's still room for a jumper. I tested it in temperatures from -4 to -12 degrees and it performed well. The disadvantages are the rather high price and poorly attached cords to the zips at the underarm vents – it's worth adjusting them yourself right after purchase. Also, the "Taiga Green" colour does not look as good in real life as in the photos; it's better to choose "Earth Brown".
